Title:
Immigration in Healthcare & Higher Education: Clinical Responsibilities and Client Rights
Presenters:
Mariaimeé Gonzalez, PhD, LPC and Douglas Valdez, PhD, LMHC, NCC, MS, MBA, MA
Description:
Clinicians working in healthcare settings?and higher education frequently support immigrant?clients and students who may experience significant fear, stress, or vulnerability related to their immigration status. To provide ethically sound and culturally responsive care, it is essential for mental health professionals to understand the specific ethics and rights that protect immigrant clients—rights that ensure dignity, privacy, and continued access to services.
We will review trauma-informed protocols that safeguard vulnerable clients, explore the intersection of clinical practice and legal rights, and discuss how counselors can serve as knowledgeable, rights-aware allies who advocate for the safety and well-being of immigrant communities.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learners will recognize and apply essential legal rights relevant to immigrant clients and students?in higher education and healthcare environments, integrating this knowledge into clinical assessment, crisis response, and safety planning.
  • Learners will strengthen clinical advocacy skills through a social justice counseling lens, becoming an effective agent of change who supports client empowerment and challenges systemic inequities affecting immigrant communities.
  • Learners will integrate trauma-informed strategies?to support immigrant clients during real or perceived immigration enforcement events, promoting emotional safety and reducing harm.
